"After recently reviewing the game and then consulting with our partners, we've decided to ensure that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is the best possible product on launch. Thus, we have pushed back the release date of the game," said studio head Trent Oster.

Customers who pre-ordered will be treated to "something special" as an apology for the delay, Oster added.

The game includes more than 400 improvements over the 13-year-old original, including a renovated interface, online multiplayer, new story cinematics and features that were not introduced until Baldur's Gate 2 like new sub-races, classes and class kits.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will now be released for PC, Mac and iPad on November 30.
